On day 3 Kati Spencer of From the Blue Chair braved the blizzard to come up and show us her quilts.

LOVE her Honeycomb pattern!!!

This mini is fabulous!

The colors are gorgeous and the finished 1/2 square triangles are 1"!!!

I could not have done this retreat if it wasn't for Shannon helping me with all the meals. Her husband Stuart is an amazing cook! He came up and made us dutch oven roast dinner and turned around the next morning to make a mountain breakfast for us. I sure am a lucky girl to have these two as friends. Don't worry, he managed to get a nap in! :o)

I had a few friends warn me not to plan on getting much sewing time in since I was the host so I didn't pack very much to work on. By day 2 I was bored and needed to sew! :o) Luckily a car load ran down to the Corn Wagon and picked me up a charm of Honey Honey to play with.

For those of you wondering if I would do it all again- ABSOLUTELY! The thing about quilters is we're really just one giant family spread all around the world. When you get together as a group of strangers that all share a common thread (pun intended!) you form a friendship. The ladies that were at the retreat with me made it so wonderful. I really do mean it when I say I think I had more fun than they did. :o) Thanks ladies for a fabulous weekend!

What a great retreat! And you're so right about all us quilters just being one big family spread all over the world. I've met very few quilters that I couldn't get along with, and assuredly, my best friends are quilters. Your pics make me miss going on retreats. Since moving to Florida last June, I haven't sewed with quilting friends, and I really miss it! Good for you to have been the organizer of such a fine event.

Sounds amazing! I've been to Cornwagon before. I'd love to go on a retreat. I figure that might be one of the few places I could go where if I cut up tons of fabric to sew it back together again I won't get the, "I think she's gone mental" look and the comment, "But that's a lot of work." I get those a lot :)
